QA1 2698-3M 26 Series Steel Monotube Shock 8C/3R Digressive Hyperscrew Eye/Eye

The QA1 2698-3M is a 26 Series one-piece steel monotube shock absorber designed for circle track racing applications. Featuring 8 compression / 3 rebound digressive valving with a hyperscrew gas pressure port, this shock delivers precise, repeatable damping performance on both dirt and asphalt tracks. With a 9-inch stroke, a collapsed length of 15.10 inches, and an extended length of 24.60 inches, it mounts via eye-to-eye (eyelet/eyelet) ends at both ends.

Key Features:

• 2-inch O.D. zinc-plated steel monotube body for corrosion resistance and consistent performance
• Deflective disc valving with digressive damping curve for excellent low-speed control without excessive high-shaft-velocity forces
• Hyperscrew gas pressure port — sealed with an O-ring screw to maintain nitrogen gas pressure; sealed hyperscrew configurations are IMCA Legal
• 46mm large piston for maximum car control at all shaft velocities
• Centerless-ground, gun-drilled piston rod eliminates rod flex and maintains valving consistency lap after lap
• Rebuildable and revalveable for unparalleled racer repeatability
• Can be run upside-down to reduce unsprung weight
• 100% dyno tested and serialized — made in the USA
• Eye-to-eye (Eye-B/Eye-B) mounting configuration

The QA1 26 Series is a popular choice among modifieds, late models, super stocks, and similar circle track classes. It performs especially well on rough dirt tracks as an easy-up shock and on bumpy asphalt tracks across all banking types. Sold individually.
